Has anyone in this forum visited Live247support.com I accidentally bumped into it when I was looking for a website for my online business. It is quite interesting, they do live chat service and got affiliate program which for me is good but I am a newbie so good for me might not be good enough for you who are a lot more experienced than I am.You have any idea of a website or long list who do the same. Thanks. ]]> Foo OrganAge2 http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?604297-Helpful-tips-needed-here Looking to get back into BMX http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?604296-Looking-to-get-back-into-BMX&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:30:41 GMT Hey how's it going? I havent been active on these forums in a couple years minus a few random pop ins, but after my recent seperation from the military I want to get back into BMX. I been out of the scene for a while now and i don't know which companies are reputable (sp?) anymore. I cant believe how light bikes got over the last 4 years.

Heres what I am looking at ( in order ) :
- Fit STR Edwin Sig 2010
http://www.danscomp.com/101895.php?cat=BIKES
- Eastern Reaper 2010
http://www.danscomp.com/101587.php?cat=BIKES
- DK Aura 2010
http://www.danscomp.com/101255.php?cat=BIKES#

When I left the sport Fit was the big name, but things change and I just want to make sure i'm not buying garbage. Are these 3 selections any good? Any better suggestions for <700$.

I'm about 200 lbs and want to upgrade the crank so It won't bend and rub against other parts and so the pedal arm won't fall off. How do I go about finding what new crankset will be compatible with my bike? I also need to replace the brakes on this bike because they take forever to stop, but I'm on a pretty tight budget and don't want to drop lots of money into this bike. I would love to have this bike be my commuter but i've been told by many people that I shouldn't drop $$$ into it.

here's some pictures, if there's anyway you could tell me what I need to do to figure out what kind of crank I'd need to replace the current one with that'd be amazing, thanks.

Two clicks per shift works really well. I am wondering if there is any way to make this into a one click system - some way to make it skip a click perhaps. I haven't tried to dissect the shifter yet. I thought I would ask first and see if anyone has done something similar or at least who understands how to take these shifters apart without destroying them.

Not a big fan of the Sora shifters up front but for my price range it seems solid. Any advice or if anybody else has a better bike for that price range i would love to know. Thanks :)

I used to not be much of a hat person until I browsed through the Brixton site upon recommendation of a friend. I fell in love with the Hooligan. It screams "Me". I ordered it and it just came in today. I've been all over town with it. It's now my go-everywhere hat. I just need a black one now. Lets see some favorite hats!

Please excuse the poor Photoshop work but my Corel Draw program has developed some issues.



I'd like to also be able to use it for semi-custom work, meaning I can screen logos on for customers in small qty for a pretty decent price.

I'd like some feedback on the design as I don't really feel it is my strong point.

The orange can be changed to any colour as well. My web address in the black band will be the only text, logo or graphic of any kind on the jersey and it will remain there even with the semi-custom orders.
